SA concession cardholders to get free solar systems
South Australian Premier Steven Marshall has announced that 1000 concession cardholders in the state will have access to free solar systems.
The Premier announced the Switch for Solar trial program in May, enabling households to swap their energy concession payments for brand new rooftop systems.
The pilot will see 1000 homes in selected suburbs given a chance to trade their concession payments over ten years for a 4.4 kilowatt solar PV system installed at no cost.
Concession card holders currently receive $215.10 per year from the Cost of Living Concession and up to $231.41 per year towards their energy bill, totalling $446.51. By trading these for a solar system, they will save up to $665 more a year on their energy costs.
